Ebook About
Over forty years ago, Joan Bodger, her husband, and two children went to Britain on a very special family quest. They were seeking the world that they knew and loved through children’s books.In Winnie-the-Pooh Country, Mrs. Milne showed them the way to “that enchanted place on the top of the Forest [where] a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.” In Edinburgh they stood outside Robert Louis Stevenson’s childhood home, tilting their heads to talk to a lamplighter who was doing his job. In the Lake District they visited Jemima Puddle-Duck’s farm, and Joan sought out crusty Arthur Ransome to talk to him about Swallows and Amazons. They spent several days “messing about in boats” on the River Thames, looking for Toad Hall and other places described by Kenneth Grahame in The Wind in the Willows. Mud and flood kept them from attaining the slopes of Pook’s Hill (on Rudyard Kipling’s farm), but they scaled the heights of Tintagel. As in all good fairy tales, there were unanswered questions. Did they really find Camelot? Robin Hood, as always, remains elusive.One thing is certain. Joan Bodger brings alive again the magic of the stories we love to remember. She persuades us that, like Emily Dickinson, even if we “have never seen a moor,” we can imagine “how the heather looks.”First published in 1965 by Viking in New York, How the Heather Looks has become a prized favorite among knowledgeable lovers of children’s literature. Precious, well-thumbed copies have been lent out with caution and reluctance, while new admirers have gone searching in vain for copies to buy second-hand. This handsome reprint, with a new Afterword by Joan Bodger, makes a unique and delightful classic available once more.

Book How the Heather Looks: A Joyous Journey to the British Sources of Children's Books Review :



On curriculum recommendation, I bought this book for our UK geography in home school studies. The premise behind Bodger's travels was that she and her family would discover locations written into existence by British authors - professedly places like Camelot, Narnia, and various natural settings like those of the Wind in the Willows. But after working through half the book, it became too apparent that they never actually discovered any of the literary locales. I grew tired of reading lines like "we drove by the place it might have been" and "myth placed the castle (or lake, or village, what have you) in this area," and "we found something akin to what we'd been searching for." They visit castles, towns, cliffs, moors, and so on, and we were able to use these points on our Map Drills. But overall, i was disappointed: it was like digging for treasure and never finding any, moving on, and not finding any in another place either.Our personal decision was to set this one aside and use another text.
This is undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read. As a former teacher, I had still not read all of the children's books mentioned in How the Heather Looks, but it did not matter. Joan Bodger wove her magic tale and explained references in detail. Her style is beautiful--I felt like I was on the trip with her and her family. An excellent read that I used as a text per our homeschooling curriculum--but I shall undoubtedly re-read several more times!
